Celiac ganglia neurolysis suppresses high blood pressure in rats

Celiac ganglia: potential new targets in neuromodulation for hypertension

“…The present study by Dai et al demonstrates that celiac ganglia neurolysis decreases blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats and Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive rats [11]. The authors validated the reduced viability of celiac ganglia by morphological changes, such as the discontinuity of the nerve fiber and the rupture of the ganglion cell nucleus, and by decreases in tyrosine hydroxylase staining.…”
